| Bow Storage About a week ago I asked what you all use for bow storage to get some ideas for my girls bows...voila! here is what I came up with....its a bead storage container that I covered in material. Pic #1 just shows the container-there are three of them so it stores LOTS of bows. Each compartment can hold 3-5/8 bows or 4-3/8 bows. I plan on labeling each compartment so I can see at a glance what bows are missing! Pic #2 Im thinking about decorating the bone and writing "Bows" on it but not sure if I want to keep that there or not. Pic #3 shows side view and Pic #4 shows the top. Something isn't quite right...im not 100% happy with it so if anyone has some ideas about what I can do to "finish" it...please share. Oh...and I also bought a smaller bead container to store bows in their diaper bag when we take trips...not sure how I am going to decorate that but thinking maybe rhinestones!

| Obviously you've got a lot of bows and you're very creative.

| Great idea. I have components like clips, etc., to make bows in a bead storage box already...and ribbon in dispenser containers. Is the unit that holds the bead storage boxes...with the little legs...part of the bead storage? Or did you make that separately? How big is a plastic bead storage box? Where did you find the bead storage unit?

| LOL that's how I started. and then I had to have this bow to match this outfit and pretty soon there was this cool looking bow that I had to buy an outfit for...sigh...its a sickness...and then there's Susan from Bowbiz who does such phenomenal work that pretty soon im going to have to get another yorkie (or Biewer) for all the bows!!!

I think I got my bead organizer at Hobby Lobby...don't remember...it's been over a year. The ribbon dispensers I got at Michael's, and they clip together...so I got three and clipped all three ribbon sections together with one tray section (shown on the bottom in the images) which I clipped on the top and put the top/handle on top of the ribbons so I can quickly unclip it and carry it around for the scissors, bands, finished bows, etc., I store in it and the ribbons all just stay put. I used the other two top/handle sections as a grooming box, and the other to hold bands, etc. as a travel bag. Mine is the clear w/blue handle...but it comes in other colors including a "Holiday Green" color top. I had gone 'on a mission' to find suitable storage and was 'disappointed'......so, truly, I think you did a great job constructing something that is hard to find ready made.

| Cat- I take it you make your own bows??? Im so tempted to try it but...I think they may be too tiny for my clumsy fingers!!! Thanks for the compliment...as I look at the pics I see things I need to fix...add a bit of glue here n there etc but the bow storage is just a small piece of what I am imagining for the Girls' stuff!!! Hopefully soon Ill be able to get their wardrobe done and post pictures..I've only been dreaming and planning for over three months!!! Its been so fun to see what others on here do for their pups clothes equipment and etc!
